Okay.
16 days to the wedding.
She'd been working hard.
A lot of progress.
She's got the 45 foot unassisted wedding out walk.
Look at that.
Probably the most amazing thing about Erin is,
she is tough and she's fearless.
And her strength is,
is really been seen by the adversity she's gone through.
It is day four.
We're still here.
Still, not a lot of answers.
She went in for a quick routine surgery
so she could dance tonight, right?
And she wakes up and no feeling in her left side.
She can't walk. She can't do anything.
In the wheelchair about to go bust out of here.
When we got out of the hospital,
we had a very difficult conversation.
We're like, guys, look, there's all this stuff going on.
You can't walk.
Maybe it's time to put things off.
And Erin looked at me and said
"Dad, I can do this."
She said "I can do this."
I'm just so happy that you guys found each other.
Out of all the people I could have picked,
he is the one.
He is the one for Erin in so many ways.
The way that she talked about him,
the way that they looked at each other,
I knew that something was there.
God has purposes.
And I believe that God united
Spencer and Erin with a purpose.
The most supportive couple,
a power a couple for real.
The way they love each other,
the way they see each other,
the way they fight through things with each other.
I think it's very beautiful.
You can see it.
The love is just there in everything that they do.
I just wish you two nothing but happiness.
You two have been a blessing to us, a blessing in my life.
There is a verse in the Bible.
He that findeth a wife findeth a good thing,
and I'm very thankful that my brother found a good thing.
Tonight, you know, it's a special occasion.
We're just adding to the family.
I get daughter in law that can cook.
She makes the main soup.
Spencer.
Since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of this day,
I've been planning this day in my mind for 23 years,
much like I've been planning every little detail of my life
until the moment that I met you.
♪ Here we are again, love ♪
I never could have imagined
or even planned a man like you,
even though I might've tried to.
Apart from my salvation,
you were the greatest gift that I've ever received.
Three months after we started dating
our lives vastly changed.
We went from date nights in our college towns,
concerts and football games,
to date nights in hospital rooms,
doctor's office visits and endless surgeries.
♪ But a love is worth the world ♪
♪ If you'll only surrender your heart ♪
We were dating for a couple months.
I mean, I don't even think it was three months.
And we were watching the Bee movie of all things.
And I got so sweaty, like red in the face.
I felt like I could not breathe.
And it was like, I had to tell him I loved him.
I had to tell him.
And I was like, no, you can't do it.
You can't do it. Like, don't do it.
And I kept telling myself, you can't do it.
But it's like, God was just like knocking at my heart.
Like: gotta do it, gotta do it.
And we had focused so much on taking things slow.
And I was like, oh my gosh, I don't know.
I don't know if I'm ready yet.
I was like "So I think I love you."
And it was like a long awkward pause.
And he's like "Well, that's really sweet."
I was like "Oh my Gosh!."
The crazier part was the next morning was my wreck.
And it was, it was like,
the Lord was telling me that he needed to hear that because
the next couple of months were,
I mean hard for me,
but I can't even imagine what he went through.
Her cousin, on Instagram, messaged me
while I was in class and was like,
"Hey, you need to get a hold of Erin's mom.
Erin's been in a wreck."
And I got there just in time to see the helicopter flying.
The state trooper and some of the cops were like
"she's losing a lot of blood, but she's going to be okay."
He was headed to the hospital
and he said all the emotions hit him.
And he knew.
He was like "I just knew in that moment you were
someone really special."
And you were someone
that wasn't just going to leave my side."
And I knew that in the hospital,
cause he never left my side and he still doesn't.
We've been through 14 surgeries now
and physical therapy, and we've weathered through.
And it's just a God thing.
Spencer was amazing.
In the darkest of our moments,
Spencer was a freaking rock.
In sickness and in health, you never left my side.
You pushed me to dig into the truth
that I didn't have to plan everything
because God had plans for my life that were so much bigger
than any plans I could ever imagine for myself.
And you were right because God made you
and He made you for me.
When the accident happened,
that drove home how special
this relationship is to me and you know,
I could have lost her.
It's gonna be an awesome day.
Oh my Gosh, you look amazing.
I've just watch you since that accident persevere
and be that powerful woman you are, has just been inspiring.
You've always been this strong steadfast figure in my life
and in so many.
And it's just powerful.
You can manage surgeries, recoveries and physical therapy,
all the while, making life as normal as possible.
This has shown me your heart over the years.
And it's just pure and beautiful and full of love.
I cannot be a happier man to get to have
all that love given to me today.
I can't explain how happy I will be
to see you walk down the aisle,
knowing all the hard work you've put
into just being able to walk.
♪ I won't stop fighting for you ♪
♪ Fighting for you ♪
♪ No, I won't stop ♪
♪ Fighting for you ♪
I'm so thankful for the way that you loved me
and the way that you cherish my heart.
You are every anterior prayer.
And there it is.
She walked the aisle.
♪ I won't stop ♪
I will always be by your side from here on now,
no matter where we are
home for me will always be when I'm with you.
And no matter where life takes us
on this crazy journey, you'll always be my home.
This is a very anticipated celebration.
See, God made you, Erin, and you, Spencer,
with today in mind.
And we recognize today
that God has blessed Spencer and Erin
and has guided them to this very moment.
I Erin. Take you Spencer to be my husband.
My friend, and my lifelong companion.
My friend and my lifelong companion.
I will be faithful to you all my days,
will be honest with you always.
And will cherish, love and adore you.
Will cherish love and adore you every moment of my life.
Every time you see this ring,
remember how much I love you.
And every time I see this ring.
I'll thank God I'm yours.
I now pronounce that you are husband and wife.
Spencer, the moment you've been waiting a long time for,
you may now kiss your beautiful bride.
For the very first time.
Mr and Mrs. Micah-Spencer-Defour.
Are you ready to dance?
I'm ready to dance, baby.
It's a strike.
I can feel it.
Who should go first?
Rock, paper, scissors?
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Rock, paper, scissors, oh! I panicked.
That means you go first.
All right, I'll go.
